Whatever that’s supposed to mean Bokonon.

Bokky’s new schtick is just making references to bulldogs not running and giving up when it gets tough.
Like the giants in a prelim final
I’m just curious as to why the mods have let this guy have multiple accounts. It’s not like he does a good job of disguising it.
Why should he?

There’s been some ironic statements made on BF but this one absolutely takes the cake.

Seems like most of the Shaw's have departed Collingwood on less than amicable terms.
The Shaw family have collectively contributed a lot to the Collingwood Football Club..... and football in general.
Kudos for that.
However from the outside looking in I always got the impression that The Shaw's had a belief of self entitlement and thought themselves bigger than the Club.
Talent footballing family, no doubt................. but the "nob / campaigner" gene seems to be dominant in their DNA.

He can’t honestly question whether he should have moved on can he?
Not answering the phone when the coach calls?...
Time to go mate.

I'm curious as to why any nonsense like this is allowed at all on the MB.
But you are Bokonon.
Still remember Shaw’s last game as a pie being led a merry dance by Gus Monfries. Fascinating to watch Gus take advantage of his childlike meltdown.

I feel like Monfries would be a brilliant troll if he was on here, just knew how to get under skin.
None better.

Let's hit the f*ken road!
All I know is that as a Supercoacher Shaw in his prime kicks to himself after a point, and calling for the ball frantically in the other backpocket were a thing of beauty.
No-one but no-none has gathered more cheap SC points over the years than he. Old man Simpson goes close, but Shaw will always be the GOAT.

Dude, he was always an A-Grade scrote.
There's nothing wrong with admitting that you were prepared to turn a blind eye when was he was contributing to a winning team.
You couldn't find a more contrasting pair of characters than Bowden and Heath Shaw: one was a player brought up in remote Aboriginal communities where his Dad had gone to teach after retiring from footy who was noted during his career for his devotion to social justice, the other is just a nob. Yeah, I know what your getting at, no doubt referring to the "basketball crap" game. And yes, he did end up with a hugely artificial stat - the biggest number of marks in a game as he and his brother Patrick played kick to kick in the backline. But that was a tactic to win the game - which it did, not to boost his personal stats.Joel Bowden
People really should watch the actual interview before posting in this thread.
They might then be able to comment sensibly (I know, it’s a big ask for big footy) about what was actually said, and the context of how it was said.

I have a Heath Shaw drinking game whenever I watch GWS. You take a drink whenever he inexplicably kicks the ball out on the full. If the commentators say something along the lines of “That’s unlike Heath Shaw” you have to drink a shot. Guaranteed to have you legless by the end of the game.

He's won a Kevin Sheedy medal and AA selection with us, but yeah he does that.

Meanwhile back in reality, far away from your fantasy land Jarryd Blair still plays for Collingwood.

Oh yeah, he’s still a top player. More than anything I find it funny that commentators still don’t recognise that he does it, despite it happening almost every single game he’s played for both the Pies and Giants.

It's always when he goes left with the kick in. Generally once a game. Still one if the best one on one defenders going around though.
Why is this on the 1st page of big football in 2018. Everyone knew shaw and bucks didnt get along.
